T.D. Posted Saturday at 12:14 AM Report Posted Saturday at 12:14 AM Finished up with the Ben Johnston quartets. The more I listen to these, the more I like them and the more "important" I consider them. But not "easy listening". Quote

He was a microtonal composer himself and swore by this guy. I have yet to go there (yet) but it sounds like it's just a matter of time. I need more time... Quote

Really strong ensemble named after their (I assume lead) violinist, many recordings on Supraphon. You can trust anything they record to be good, especially Czech composers.
